  1. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    Cul2 replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    I mean no disrespect with what I'm about to say. I think it goes for both genders. Most of the attitudes and points of view we get on this blog are female. That's to be expected. Most nurses are...

  2. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    Cul2 replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    It's very interesting that this discussion started with a post that included this statement: "...shouldn't the issue of our gender be a secondary consideration instead of the default one? If not,...

  3. MA's in hospitals, replacing RNs ?

    Cul2 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    "also, regardless of the MA's background EXPERIENCE they do not have the background education. And there is so much more to nursing than tasks." I so glad to see this stated. Granted, education...

  4. Clueless Patients and The Problems They Cause

    Cul2 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gee, AngelfireRN, drama club in school? Well, I guess there's nothing you need to learn about acting or commication. You "think" your patients can't read you. That's your perception. Sometimes the...

  5. Clueless Patients and The Problems They Cause

    Cul2 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, glad to see the common sense responses on this thread. Those with judgmental, negative attitudes -- you don't think patients can read you? You think you're such good actresses and actors...

  6. Treating the Muslim patient

    Cul2 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad to see most posters taking a reasonable approach to this. To MikeyBSN. The reality about this is that if a female or male patient insists upon same gender care, and continues to insist,...

  7. Double Standard with Sexual Harassment

    Cul2 replied to NeuroNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Another aspect of sexual harassment that hasn't been brought up yet, and most people don't realize. If, for example, two nurses are joking around in the break room -- telling off color jokes, getting...

  8. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    I might suggest that a patient, male or female, who insists on a same gender caregiver, is not necessarily refusing care. Even if same gender care isn't available. Refusing care is one thing. Being...

  9. Do I have to take off my clothes?

    Cul2 replied to Yossy's topic in General Students

    Interesting response, stripec30. Certainly empathy can happen without experience. But if that's so, why is that so many nurses constantly say that patients have no idea what they do or are going...

  10. Do I have to take off my clothes?

    Cul2 replied to Yossy's topic in General Students

    Is it that you don't see the irony in this situation is it that you refuse to recognize it? Note a comment like this: "I can't believe in these days that schools would permit such things to go on....

  11. Instructor lecturing on ethics...

    Cul2 replied to doesanyoneknowwhy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to simplify complex ethical situations. Those of us responding weren't there to hear what the nurse instructor said or hear how it was said. But my point is this: When does one actually...

  12. Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

    Cul2 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    This is just a small example of the lack of national standards in American healthcare. Most in health care don't want to see socialized medicine, or nationalized health care. But unless the profession...

  13. Instructor lecturing on ethics...

    Cul2 replied to doesanyoneknowwhy's topic in General Nursing

    The responses on this thread are incredible. Doing the right thing isn't always easy. It's easy to rationalize. Of course, most on this thread would probably criticize the bankers and politicians who...

  14. Reccomend a gender neutral title to replace "Nurse"!

    Cul2 replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Some may claim the term "nurse" is gender neutral, but the profession isn't. As one earlier poster said, you can use what ever name you want, but the vast majority of "nurses" are women, as are cna's,...

  15. Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

    Cul2 replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men in Nursing

    Pinfinity -- you are not completely correct. The courts have seen gender choice for intimate kinds of care in a different category. The research and case law are out there. For a man or woman to...

  16. Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

    Cul2 replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men in Nursing

    cop2bnurse41 Jan 20, 2009, 04:24 PM Re: Discrimination Against Men in Nursing Well I have been reading this thread for a couple of days now and I am finally ready to put my 2cents in. First Aside...

  17. Negative Threads

    Cul2 replied to Seagate's topic in General Nursing

    Venting is necessary and sometimes helpful. But there is such a thing as destructive venting. We all may be anonymous here but this blog is open to the public. A significant number of people outside...

  18. Male Nurse Demand?

    Cul2 replied to techraider77's topic in Men in Nursing

    Should there be a demand for more male nurses? How about these possible answers to that question. Yes Because any workforced that becomes dominated by one gender is not a healthy workforce. Because a...

  19. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

    Cul2 replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In his book, "Customer Service: Career Success Through Customer Satisfaction," Paul R. Timm talks about what he calls the "Takla Syndrome." He writes: "Early in my career, business took me to a...

  20. I think peri/rectal swabs are a humiliating 'welcome' to the hospital

    Cul2 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    dnp2004 asks a good question -- "Are the facilities asking EACH patient if an opposite gender R.N./tester would present a problem? What are the protocols? " As is typical with these kinds of...

  21. Patients who are my age who blush or dart questions due to embarrassment...

    Cul2 replied to justanewcomer's topic in General Nursing

    to -- dnp2004 i find it revealing that you're not getting any response to your last post. this is a topic many health care workers don't want to talk about, at least publically. we certainly don't...

  22. Awkward Situation

    Cul2 replied to Lily C.'s topic in General Nursing

    thank you, dnp2004 , for your thoughtful response. yes, it does clarify your position and put your comments into better context. i applaud you for the way you handle that kind of insensitive...

  23. Awkward Situation

    Cul2 replied to Lily C.'s topic in General Nursing

    Just can't believe some of the responses here. Some make common sense and show compassion. Others seem to just promote stereotypes about men. Can't believe the poster who said the boy may have been...

  24. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    You should always take someone in with you to "assist". Two years ago a patient claimed to have been sexually assulted by a male nure at a local hospital. His word against his. Guys listen, men or...

  25. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    FROM AsheraRe: The Great Double Standard? permalink Had a female pt once - a very needy, prima donna that confused us with the Hilton. Absolutely refused 'that black nurse' and wanted to make sure...
